Cluverius.

The conviction and execution of Thos.
]. Clnverius is one of the best vindications
of American criminal law which has &C.
Cured in many years. Deliberately plan
ming the cold blooded murder of his in
jured and confding cousin, with the nerve
and cunning Of an older and more harden
ed villain, he planned carefully to cover
up in advance the traces of his guilt and
ferestall for himself all suspicion of COM
plicity in the crime. He felt safe in the
belief that the death Of his victim would
be charged to suicide, or in any event that
no suspicion would ever attach to himself
But, as is often the case, the very steps he
took 10 cover his guilty tracks, afterwards,
under the mastery prosecution, served to
fasten the crime more certainly upon him.
There is we'll founded popular prejudice
against convictions resting entirely upon
circumstantial evidence, but when such
evidence is thoroughly connected in every
part as in this case it is often OF more con-
of eye witnesses. The law guards wisely
and carefully against the infirmity of cir
cunstantial evidence, and whenever any
other concl usion, except the guilt of the
accused, is consistent with all the circum-
s'antial facts in evidence, no conviction
will be allowed But in this case all the
ingenuity of the able and experienced
counsel for the prisoner could not bring
forward any other hypothesis which would
be consistent with the facts in evidence.
The theory Of suicide, upon which they
relied, was effectually rebutted by the
medical testimony as we'll as by the fact
that masculine tracks accompanied those
of the unfortunate girl to the very brink
of the reservoir upon which there were
clear evidences of a struggle. The other
facts of the case conolusively connected
the prisoner with the crime and the seve
raj exhaustive reviews in the appellate
court tailed to discover any Jaw in the
chain of circumstsntial evidence; and so
the verdict of the jury was sustained.
Little importance should be attached to
the failure of the prisoner to confess. He
saw, no doubt, that his reticence would
cloud the minds of many people with
doubts as to his guilt and cause many to
regard him as martyr to the much abused
circumstantisl evidence; while q comics
sion would convict him beyond any per-
adventure of one OF the most heinous
crimes conceivable. A defect Of Christian
belief may have aided his strong nerve
in playing the last grave act OF the trag-
edy so we'll. The conviction and execu-
tion cannot but be regarded as vindica-
ton of the criminal law aud the result OF
this case will do much to discourage such
criminals in The future.

Congressman representing agricultural
districts, says the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, are daily in
receipt OF communications from their con-
stituents urging the passage during the
present session of the bill to create exper-
mental stations in the various States
The bill fol- this purpose is known as the
Hatch bill, having been introduced by MI
Hatch, as chairman of the agricultural
committee Representative Brady, of Vir-
GINA, has prepared an amendment to the
bill, which, ut the proper time be will pre-
sent, providing that the trustees or gov
erning board of the proposed experiment
tai stations shall be divided equally be-
tween the two political parties. This
amendment was suggested by Col. Con-
rad, of Virginia, in letter to Represents
tive Brady. Mr. Conrad asserts that the
proposed stations will be OF little value to
the agriculturists il they are to be in the
hands of partisan governors or trustees
With an impartial and non political board
of governors, who shall by majority vote
select or remove all professors, assistants
and other necessary employees, these sta
tions can be made Of great benefit to the
country generally.

with the expectation that Governor Gray
will appoint good democrat to the sen

on the other hand, is to have the.republi

The Party or the People

In replying to several contemporaries in
regard to its position in supporting the
administration, the New York Herald, af-
ter stating that it is not an organ, bat fol-
lows its convictions and not the fortunes
of any public man or party, continues:
"The Herald believes that of the two
parties now organised the Democratic 10
by far the most fit to be trusted with con-
troll in federal matters. We do not think
the Democratic party faultless; but we see
that the Republican party remains under
the control of the NEST mischicvous aud
dangerous class in this Countrywide plut-
ocracy, the combine of corporations and
monopolists of all kinds. 1t is a power
full tool, obedient to the hands Of that
privileged class which has grown up
among Us since the war, and which uses
the Republican organization on all occa-
sions to fortify and extend its privileges
and monopolies, and to resist every attempt
at the repeal of unjust and injurious laws.
The greed and cunning of a msneyed aris-
toeracy are here, as always in history, in
satiable and boundless. The increasing
discomfort of the masses of the American
people, be they mechanics, laborers or far.
mers, and their cries and efforts for relief
shows that they feel the Tightening grip Of
this oppression but every attempt to give
them relief is foiled in Congress by the
astute Republican leaders.
"The Democratic party is at any rate
the party of the people. We have had
frequent occasions to complain OF its fee
bleness and Of the lack Of fOrce and capa-
city OF some of its leaders but it is ranged
on the peoples side and against that
moneyed aristoeracy, thai privileged class
which more and more audaciously sets up
it's aims among Us to rule and control
The Herald is nor the organ ef party il
is the organ of the people, and it believes
that for the welfare Of the people the con,
tinued ascendaacy Of the Democratic party
Is best and necessary"

1t is understood that some of the mem
bers of the committee on pensions of the
U. s. House of Representatives, probably a
majority, are opposed to the Senate bill
giving apensien to Mrs. Logan. They are
right; unless it be the LIBERALIZATION o
Congress to give the widow of every man
who was in the Union army, aud of every
U. S. Senator, an annual pension of two
thousand GLARS. There is no precedent
tor such a pension as the proposed one fol
Mrs. Logan. Where speci !. pensions to
widows of soldiers b I'VE bsen granted, the
benefciaries have been the widows of men
who spent their lives in the army, such
men, for instance, as General Hancock
In 40 case has the widow of a volun ee,
officer, who entered the army at the com
mencement of the war and left 1t at it,
close, received special extra pension, and
there are twenty-five widows of vo 'untec
officers holding the same rank General
Logan held, who have not been specially
peusioned

Hints Worth Remembering Regarding Be
harior in time Of Fire.
The American Artisan gives the follow
ing excellent advice az 20 how people
should act upon the discovery OF "A fire
upon their premises and the extract is
worth committing TO memory: "Never
permit a fire, whether i'm your house or
Workshop, to surprise and unman you.
Preserve your self-possession and becool
headed and rational. DO not getexcited
or confused. Acquaint yourseliwith the
best methods OF escape from the building
both at the top and the bottom, and
carefully consider which means of exit is
preferable in an emergency. Ifyour wife's
or child's dress takes fire, lay the person
down quickly to prevent breathing as
cending flamcs, aud smother the flames
with a woolen blanket or rug, orstrip OF
carpet. Keep all the doors and windows
closed until theiircmen arrive; ifyoucan-
not make your own way from the build
ing by the stairway, force your way 60 u
front room, and keep the doors behind
you closed, for n draught always invites
smoke, and flames always follow the
smoke. II the presence OF smoke in the
room suiiocates you, place your head
close To the floor, where there Is always
a fresh current Of air A cloth saturated
with water placed over the mouth will
facilitate breathing in apartments fouled
with smoke and enable one To enter a
burning building filled with smoke, when
strangulation would otherwise ensue."
